Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while it preheats.
On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch round. Transfer the rolled dough to a baking sheet or a pizza peel if using a pizza stone.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, add olive oil. Sauté minced garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add crushed red pepper flakes and tomato sauce. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and black pepper. Remove from heat.
Spread the spicy tomato sauce evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the tomato sauce.
Scatter the sliced red and yellow bell peppers, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and jalapeño slices over the cheese.
Transfer the pizza to the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving. Cut into slices and enjoy your spicy Vegetarian Pizza Diavolo!
